Are you ready to push triathlon racing to the next level?

Introducing the Great Floridian Triple Triathlon Challenge — a one-of-a-kind endurance test where athletes will take on three consecutive sprint triathlons, non-stop!

Each sprint features a 0.25-mile swim, 8.2-mile bike, and 2-mile run. Stack them together and you’ll conquer a total of 0.75 miles in the water, 24.6 miles on the bike, and 6 miles on the run — all in a single epic effort.

But don’t be fooled: this is far more than just three sprints. You’ll need strength, stamina, and smart strategy to handle the repeated swims, rides, and runs. The clock starts the moment you start your first swim and doesn’t stop until you cross the finish line of your third run. That means every second counts — including the time you spend catching your breath between races.

Think you’ve mastered the sprint? It’s time to prove it. Step up, line up, and triple up — the Great Floridian Triple Triathlon Challenge awaits!
